Instructions for reinstalling the ADVOXY server.
1. If you are reinstalling a server, you MUST save the program folder to an external device before reinstalling. The folder is usually “C:\Program Files\Advoxy\”. In exceptional cases the folder may be on drive D:\ or E:\. Check exactly which one it is from the startup icon. Also save the icons of all ADVOXY products from your desktop.
2. Keep the server name and the folder where the program is installed, so that no changes are needed on the client computers.
3. From the ADVOXY installation disk install Firebird and then Advoxy on the new computer, and call us for an activation key. Enter the activation key. The system displays a message that it is active for 30 days. Close the system with the “Exit” button.
4. Restore the information by copying back the entire ADVOXY folder you saved from the old server. Overwrite all files. Also restore the desktop icons.
5. Check the “Windows Firewall” settings. You need to either turn it off or add TCP port 3050 under “Exceptions” to allow connections to it.
6. In the new installation you need to set again where ADVOXY archives the information (the path to the USB Flash device). This is set from “System”, “System Parameters”, “System” – “Archive Directory”. Confirm the selection with “Save”. Make a test archive to be sure the setting is correct.
If you are installing on Windows Vista or Windows 7, disable the “Install Control Panel Applet” option when installing Firebird.
